Insurtech Gradient AI, an enterprise-grade AI software in insurance, has teamed up with Connexure, a platform for quoting, underwriting, and admin workflows.
The goal is sharp – push automation deeper into risk management for carriers and MGUs.
The deal connects Gradient AI’s Risk Management Life Cycle system with Connexure’s ESLoffice platform. Together they form a single operational layer that merges data, insights, and process automation in one workspace.
The integration is designed to cut the clutter between underwriting and admin teams, driving faster, smarter decision-making.
For insurers, that means consolidated workflows and fewer system handoffs. Underwriters see risk scores, predictive insights, and documentation updates in real time instead of chasing data across disconnected tools.
Customers using both products now log into one interface, move through processes quicker, and gain the edge of AI-enhanced analytics guiding each step.
Chris White, Connexure’s CRO, said the partnership fits directly into the firm’s push to unify the self-funded ecosystem. “Pairing our automation stack with Gradient’s analytics creates a complete solution. Based on client feedback, this is exactly the kind of interoperability the market’s been asking for,” he said.
The two organizations are uniquely positioned to drive better outcomes with the pairing of Connexure’s underwriting and administration workbench automation, with cutting-edge, AI-driven analytics from Gradient AI.

“Based on feedback from our clients, it’s clear that this partnership fills a big need in the market right now,” Chris White says.
Insurtech Gradient AI, a enterprise software provider of artificial intelligence solutions in the insurance industry, has raised $56 mn in a Series C funding led by Centana Growth Partners, with participation from existing investors MassMutual Ventures, Sandbox Insurtech Ventures and Forte Ventures.
The funds will be used to support product development to continue driving innovation and efficiency in the insurance industry and to further bolster customer success and sales functions.
Gradient AI’s solutions stand out for their advanced AI and machine learning models, leveraging a vast industry data lake. This lake includes millions of policies, claims, and economic, health, and geographic data.
Gradient AI founder and CEO Stan Smith called it a move toward practical impact. He said the collaboration fuses end-to-end workflow automation with dynamic predictive intelligence – two proven technologies solving a shared pain point for insurers.
We’re not just integrating systems, we’re giving teams the power to act faster and with more confidence.

The tie-up underscores how AI and workflow automation are converging in insurance tech. For Gradient AI and Connexure, it’s less about hype and more about pushing operational reality – making underwriting and risk management less manual, more connected, and, honestly, a lot smarter.
